BAZAAR Beauty Awards 2017: Best Pore-Refining Cleanser

Best Pore-Refining Cleanser: ORBIS Powder Wash +, $25

Is your one skincare obsession keeping your pores clean and gunk-free? Thanks to the heat and high humidity in our climate, your body responds by sending your sweat glands into overdrive as it attempts to normalise its temperature through perspiration. Couple that with shine-prone skin, and you’ve got a whole lot of grime and gunk accumulating in your pores, which gradually causes congestion. Over time, they harden to form keratin plugs, which ordinary cleansers are unable to remove, resulting in comedones and a rough, bumpy complexion.

This is where ORBIS’ Powder Wash + comes into play. This super-powered facial cleansing powder is formulated with two enzymes—Protease and Lipase—to soften and dissolve these keratin plugs so they can be easily and effectively removed. The Easy Whip Formula also creates a smooth, rich and cushiony foam to capture the grime particles without irritating the skin.

And unlike harsh cleansers that strip skin of its moisture and cause it to overcompensate by producing even more sebum, ORBIS’ Powder Wash + has a gentle formula, which contains hyaluronic acid, collagen and royal jelly extract to keep skin hydrated and supple.
